Free basketball.... and what is Brent Barry thinking?
May 15, 2006 | 10:01PM | report this
Someone once said that the hardest thing to do in professional sports is to hit a major league fastball... but apparently for Brent Barry, it's inbounding the basketball with his team's season on the line. With under a minute left and a one-point San Antonio lead, Barry attempted misguidedly to inbound the ball to Michael Finley.... WITH A WIDE OPEN TONY PARKER AT MID-COURT!!! Instead, Barry threw an ill-advised, errant pass off of Finley's fingertips along the right sideline and out of bounds, keeping Dallas' chances alive.

Barry also had the ball stolen from him in overtime, leading to a Jerry Stackhouse lay-up. The emotion of the crowd, a few favorable calls and a slashing Devin Harris were all simply too much for the Spurs to overcome as Dallas went on to win the game in overtime.

Barry will be replaying that pass over and over in his head tonight, as his team is now down three games to one, and faces their first early elimination in years.
